Gu Huan stood there in a daze, watching the twilight slowly fall.

At this hour, the officials who were not received by the monk also knew that there was no hope, so they had to come back the next morning, and dispersed in twos and threes.

Gu Huan looked at the two stone lions on both sides of the gate of Hefu and bit his lip lightly.

In fact, what the situation in the palace is and what the ins and outs of the matter are, Gao Su's housekeeper is not clear.

Not long after Gu Huan left, Gao Su was summoned to the palace, saying that the emperor had invited all the Gao princes who had arrived in Yecheng to feast. This is a family banquet, and the ministers will not attend. Unexpectedly, an hour later, Gao Yanzong's personal attendant Pegasus rushed to Gao's mansion, saying that Gao Su had angered the emperor and was ordered to be reprimanded with a cane, regardless of the number of times, until he agreed to the emperor's request. Gao Su refused to let go, but he was afraid that he was worried about his life, so he asked General Gu Huan to find a way to rescue him quickly.

In Gao Yanzong's heart, he only wanted to get Gu Huan, because Duan Shao was her father-in-law, and the current emperor Gao Zhan relied on Duan Shao quite much, and whenever he decided to make a decision on a major matter, he would write to Duan Shao and ask for his opinion, so most of Gu Huan's words still had some weight, maybe Gao Zhan would give her face.

Gu Huan knew that time was pressing, where could she, a little fifth-grade military attaché, enter the palace? Without an edict, you can't even enter the palace gate. For today's plan, I can only go to the monk to open it.

Thinking about it, she walked up the steps and said to the two people in the house with a pleasant face: "Trouble the big brother to report, I still have something to report to the adult." ”

The two people naturally recognized her, and they also heard that their own Xiangye actually played the piano in the chrysanthemum garden to this young man, what an honor it was, except for the emperor and queen, no one in the world had ever enjoyed this kind of treatment, so they naturally didn't dare to slack off, and immediately laughed and said: "Please General Gu stay for a while, and the villain will report to Xiangye immediately." ”

"I'm tired." Gu Huan was anxious, but on the surface, he still had to be polite and thoughtful.

"Don't dare." A subordinate bowed to her, then turned and walked briskly.

The house is too big, so once you come and go, it is two quarters of time. Gu Huan stood outside the threshold, only to feel that time seemed to be stagnant, and it seemed to be as fast as flowing water. She was as stiff as a stone statue, and her heart was as calm as an ancient well.

Finally, the subordinate rushed back and treated her more respectfully: "General Gu, please." Xiangye was eating, and said that if General Gu didn't dislike it, let's use a little together. ”

Gu Huan said, "Please lead the way." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the villain is blessed, the general can just call the villain by his name." The man nodded and led her to the flower hall.

The road was very long, and Gu Huan almost wanted to fly over with wings. By the time she hurried to the door of the flower hall, she was already a little out of breath.

He Shikai sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, enjoying a table of food alone, and when he saw her walk in the door, he put down the carved ivory chopsticks and smiled gently: "General Xiao Gu, please take a seat." ”

Gu Huan stood in front of him, his cheeks were crimson, and he turned his head to look at the servant girls and servants around him.

The monk was empathetic and waved his hand slightly. The men immediately went out. The monk leaned back in the chair, smiled and asked, "Looking for me?" ”

Gu Huan gritted his teeth and knelt down: "The prince of Lanling was beaten by the emperor, and asked Lord He to enter the palace and ask the emperor to be gracious." ”

He Shikai was slightly stunned, his smile was more kind, and his voice was softer: "The prince was blamed by the emperor, it was always against the emperor's will, I am just a small minister, how can I make the emperor change his mind?" ”

Gu Huan looked up at him and begged softly: "The emperor is magnanimous and will always listen, I implore you to enter the palace to face the saint, please be gracious." ”

He Shikai looked at her raised little face with a kind of sacrificial determination and holiness, and a heart that had long been numb seemed to be hit by a heavy punch, and a strange feeling suddenly swelled up. He lowered his head, leaned close to the face that seemed to be not stained with a little dust, and asked softly, "Are you begging me, or is it the king of Lanling?" ”

"Me." Gu Huan did not hesitate. "And my lord, Gu Huan begs you."

The monk smiled softly and seductively: "So, how are you going to repay me?" ”

Gu Huan immediately said, "As long as I have it, I can take it with my lord." ”

He Shikai whispered in her ear, "You know what I want, I want ...... You. ”

Gu Huan didn't think about it, and said firmly: "Okay." ”

He Shikai raised his head slightly, and a trace of sadness suddenly flashed across his face. He raised his hand to caress Gu Huan's face and muttered, "No one has ever treated me like this." As he spoke, he pressed Gu Huan's lips.

Gu Huan didn't move, only closed his eyes and let him kiss him carefully.

After a while, the monk straightened up and shouted, "Heqing, prepare the car, I want to enter the palace." ”

Gu Huan opened his eyes and whispered, "Thank you, Lord He." ”

He Shikai helped her up and smiled gently: "You go back and wait first, I will send King Lanling home." Settle him down, and I'll take you." ”

"Yes." Gu Huan agreed and walked out with him.

He Shikai said softly: "Don't worry, I only want the joy of fish and water, and I won't force anything else." You can still continue to live with King Lanling. I don't care what you want to do with him. But if I send someone to pick you up, you won't be allowed to push back. ”

"Okay." Gu Huan felt that such a price was much better than she had imagined, so she said sincerely. "Thank you and the adult for the mercy."

The monk smiled and stroked her shoulder, and praised, "What a smart boy, I like it." ”

Walking outside the gate, the monk got into his luxury carriage and went straight to the palace. Gu Huan then took the car home.

She couldn't eat anything, and she sat anxiously at the gate and waited. Chunxi told Qiu Yan what had happened, and Qiu Yan understood the young lady's mood, and immediately went to the kitchen to get some snacks, insisted that Gu Huan eat a little, and then accompanied her to wait there.

In less than half an hour, a carriage drove over, followed by several of Gao Su's attendants.

Gu Huan ran up and asked them anxiously, "How is the prince?" ”

One of the attendants immediately replied, "Fainted." The prince was seriously injured, but he was not worried about his life. ”

Another attendant said: "Thanks to Lord He for arriving in time to dissuade the emperor, I let my prince go." ”

They sighed, and when the carriage stopped, they carefully carried Gao Su, who was covered in blood, out of the carriage and carried it into the mansion.

Gu Huan was shocked: "Didn't you say that the rod was responsible?" How did this happen? Where the hell did you hit? ”

A waiter sighed: "I heard that the prince did not let go, and the emperor was furious, and he personally took the horsewhip to smoke it, alas......"

Gu Huan had already instructed the housekeeper to find the doctor just now, and he didn't say anything else at this time, and quickly asked the doctor to treat Gao Su.

Although he was covered with bruises, fortunately, he did not hurt his muscles and bones, and the doctor gave medicine to his wounds, bandaged them, prescribed prescriptions for internal use, and explained some taboos, and then left.

Gu Huan asked the housekeeper to immediately arrange for someone to grab the medicine, decoct the medicine, and then personally hold the medicine bowl and pour the medicine soup spoonful by spoonful.

Gao Su frowned, his handsome face full of pain.

Gu Huan brushed his falling lock of hair behind his ears, stared at his pale and beautiful face, and said in a low voice: "You fool, what are you stubborn with the emperor?" People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and this reason is not clear? As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, you know? Don't be so upright in the future, you have to be strong and soft, able to bend and stretch, in order to live a peaceful life. As she muttered, she dipped her silk scarf in warm water, carefully wiped his face and hands, and then gently covered him with the brocade quilt.

At this time, it was almost sunset, and a light rain began to fall in the sky. Gu Huan walked out of the door, and Qiu Yan, who had been waiting outside, immediately held up an oil-paper umbrella for her.

Gu Huan walked through the corridor, walked out of Baiyun Xuan, and slowly walked back to the Green Yi Pavilion in the sound of the rain.

Qiu Yan had already prepared the fragrant soup for her bath, she closed the door, took a bath slowly, changed her clothes, but did not go to bed. She told Qiu Yan to go to sleep, but she sat in the dark, her heart blank.

I don't know how long it took, but the housekeeper knocked lightly on the door outside. She stood up, opened the door, and walked out.

The butler's voice was very soft: "General Gu, there is a carriage from Hefu outside, saying that he wants to pick up the general to taste tea." ”

"Okay." Gu Huan's voice was also very low. "I went first, and I may not be able to come back until tomorrow. You take good care of the prince, don't tell the prince anything. ”

"Yes, the villain understands." The housekeeper was over half a hundred years old and understood everything, and said sincerely while accompanying her outside. "General Gu, I'm really sorry, I've worked hard for you."

"Don't say that, as long as the prince is good, he won't be hard." Gu Huan said it lightly.

They soon went out of the gate, and saw a gorgeous carriage with two white horses parked there, waiting with several subordinates from the mansion, and when they saw Gu Huan, two people came over to wait for her to get into the car.

Gu Huan leaned on the soft brocade cushion, smelling the faint fragrance in the carriage, and then felt deeply tired.
